Years Ago

Years Ago - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)

I was happy oh so happy

Down in Mississipi way

I was living with my papy

Fifteen years ago today

When I left him in the gloaming

I recall I heard him say

You'll be sorry that you roaming

Fifteen years ago today

I met a slicker from the city

And he leaved my life astray

How he fooled me was a pity

Fifteen years ago today

He said I could make a fortune

If I did as he would say

But we ended up in prison

Fifteen years ago today

Now I'm sitting by my own son

For my errors I must pay

I recall I wasn't lonesome

Fifteen years a go today
